In a move drawing both interest and derision, U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth announced a mandatory hormonal screening plan for all military personnel over 30. The program will test testosterone levels across the armed forces and open the door to state-funded hormone replacement therapy for those found deficient. The initiative is the latest in a series of Hegseth-era Pentagon reforms aimed at reshaping military culture and readiness, though critics question both the medical rationale and the cost implications.
